2 Corinthians 1:3–4 — Comfort That Carries Forward
Scripture
“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble.”
2 Corinthians 1:3–4 (KJV)
Quiet Reflection
This passage does not promise escape from hardship. It promises presence within it.
God is revealed not as distant, but as the Father of mercies. Comfort is not something He gives occasionally. It is who He is.
And the comfort we receive is never meant to stop with us. It becomes strength we carry into the lives of others.
